105-Year-Old Woman Surprised With New Car from Anonymous Fan

SANTA BARBARA, CA--Aug. 23, 2013: California's oldest driver, 105-year-old Edythe Kirchmaier, received a big
surprise when she was gifted a brand new car from an anonymous fan.

Kirchmaier has a perfect 86-year driving record with no accidents,
parking, or moving violations. She renewed her driver's license this
January after passing her test with flying colors.

The longtime Santa Barbara resident garnered international attention
earlier this year with appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Tonight
Show with Jay Leno, and Access Hollywood Live in which she inspired the
world to make a difference by raising awareness for her beloved charity,
Direct Relief.

As the oldest registered Facebook user, Kirchmaier's 105th birthday wish
was to get 105,000 people to like Direct Relief's Facebook page by lighting
a candle on the world's largest virtual birthday cake that the humanitarian
organization created for her.

Kirchmaier was given a brand new 2013 Honda Civic after the anonymous
fan heard her 1997 minivan was having lots of break downs and needing many
repairs, jeopardizing her ability to continue volunteering at Direct
Relief, as she has for the past 40 years.

Driving since she was 19, Kirchmaier learned to drive on a Ford Model
T.
